In a heart-pounding showdown at Lyon Stadium, Germany secured Olympic bronze with a 1-0 victory over Spain in women's soccer Friday! The match turned on late-game drama: Giulia Gwinn scored the game's only goal via a 65th-minute penalty after Spanish goalkeeper Cata Coll fouled her.
Spain's world champions nearly forced extra time with a last-second penalty, but German keeper Ann-Katrin Berger became the hero by saving Alexia Putellas' shot. Talk about edge-of-your-seat action!
This win marks redemption for Germany after their semifinal loss to the US. For soccer fans, it's a reminder: never leave a match early. #OlympicMoments
